The Process: Children and Teens Create with Us

Under the direction of Joyce Raimondo, students work together to brainstorm ideas for their mural. Joyce Raimondo then incorporates students' ideas into a professionally designed mural.

Children work together to paint their mural.

Murals can be painted directly on wall or panels or canvas.

“The mural came out great and the children love it! “ — Rebecca Morgan, Project Most Director, John M. Marshall ES, East Hampton

“What’s most important to me about this mural is the message that’s on it. The students really took to heart the meaning of it, which is all about kindness and love and respect.” — Nancy Carney, Riverhead Superintendent

“I think the fact that the children still come in here and talk about the mural and look at it and want to live by the words up there, I think that’s inspiring. You can’t not love it,” — Melissa Haupt, Art Teacher, Riley Avenue ES, Riverhead

MURALS

For Your Home: Bedrooms, Playrooms, Baby Nurseries

Joyce Raimondo works with you and your children to create a mural tailored to your vision. First choose a theme for your mural (topics listed on sidebar). The project begins as Raimondo works with your children to create whimsical collages to generate ideas for their mural. Raimondo then incorporates your family's ideas into a professionally designed mural. Additionally, families may choose to have children assist with aspects of painting the mural for their creative enjoyment.

Schools and Public Institutions

UNITY MURALS! Anti-Bully Project
The Imagine That mural team, directed by Joyce Raimondo, paints with students to create an uplifting character education mural tailored to your school. The mural illustrates your school slogan, character words, colors, and mascot. Input for the mural sketch from the principal, PTA, and teachers is welcomed. Workshops in which students generate images for the mural design are also available. The Imagine That! mural team folds into the art teacher's schedule of classes to paint the wall mural with every student in your school participating. Or, choose one or two grades to paint the mural. The program serves as an inspiring and unifying project that lasts for years to come.
